Question

Distance traveled 342 miles with an average speed of 40 mph. What is the travel time of the trip?

Answer 1

Answer:

The travel time of the trip is 8.55 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The average speed of an object is calculated using the following formula:

$s=\frac{d_2 -d_1}{t}$

Where $d_2 - d_1$ is the total distance traveled by the object and t is the time it took the object to travel that distance.

So we know that:

$d_2 - d_1=342\ miles$

$s=40\ mph$

Therefore:

$40=\frac{342}{t}$

$t=\frac{342}{40}$

$t=8.55\ hours$

Answer 2
